It was nice to see Neeson and Crowe in a film together. Elizabeth Banks was okay here. An unbelievable plot made interesting because of the directing and performances. Its intent was good but the manner of saving his wife was unrealistic. If only the conclusion was improved, this could have been rated higher. The Next Three Days is flick with a nice premise but just too much to digest. |

I like the tension that the film managed to keep throughout - but the films does push things on the suspension of disbelief department. Still, if you're in the mood for an action crime drama this is not a bad choice at all - just don't try to analyze it too deeply. |

An OK movie if you haven't seen it once before but if you have, It's something that you probably won't watch more then once.Theres really nothing special about this movie & theres also a few things that left me thinking nobody in real life would ever be able to get away with that |

Normally I'm okay for a good, old fashioned action movie that requires me to suspend disbelief and just go with the flow. Unfortunately, I just wasn't able to do that with this movie. While Russell Crowe gives his usual strong performance with a character I sympathized with, it's just a little too unbelievable how he's able to go from ordinary citizen to jail-breaking genius. Elizabeth Banks is all right but we never really get to know her character enough to feel bad for her. As the film eventually gets to its climax, after about 90 minutes of build-up, it was just a little more for me to take. |

Fantastic little thriller!! |

Wow! yet another Russell Crowe movie i really liked. Another actor who much like everything done by George Clooney i consider boring. Since seeing Cinderella Man, A Beuatiful Mind and a few others i have really taken a liking to Crowe. Director Paul Haggis who have brought us such greats Million Dollar Baby(writer) Casino Royale (Screenplay) and last but not least The Valley Of Elah (director,writer) brings us the tale of one man's roller coaster of a ride to keep his family intact. Crowe play John Brennan a university teacher who live with his wife Lara(played brillaintly by Elizabeth Banks) and their only son Luke (played by twin actors Tobey and Tyler Green).
After being wrongfully accused of murdering her boss, Lara is sent to prison leaving young Luke and John to fend for themse... |

"The Next Three Days" by Yojimbo |
|
A schoolteacher's wife is imprisoned for first degree murder based upon circumstantial evidence and when the final appeal fails and she resorts to a suicide attempt he pours all his skills as a researcher into engineering a meticulous plan to break her out. Very much in a similar vein to TV series Prison Break, The Next Three Days has the premise of an ordinary and honest man resorting to extreme measures when faced with an untenable situation. It's not as convoluted as the series however, concentrating more on the human drama than histrionics; in fact the inevitable mix of wobbly-cammed screeching tires, helicopters and cop dodging is easily the least interesting part of the film. Some will be disappointed at the lack of action, especially considering the trailer which was clearly cut t... |
